Twenty bings before Fourcadewinslol, so a biathlon thread.
Not holding out much hope for Ole Einar because he'll probably fuck up one or two of the ranges - pursuits and mass starts don't seem to go well for him these past few years. But Boe can bring some hope to Norway and Germany looks strong with Peiffer and Schempp.
Hope Semenov doesn't lose much, but can't really see him repeating the surprise performance here surrounded by all these guys. Would be glad if he does though. Looking forward to Garanichev to try and not fuck up the shooting because his speed is alright and he could challenge the frontrunners.
Pls save us Bjorndalen
It's time!

Moé as fuck
And there Fourcade goes.
>>65999361
Fuck off
I believe we will win!
rip in piece
Fourcade look just as invincible as he did yesterday. Would be nice if he had som misses, so we at least could pretend that the winner is not given already

SVENDSEN
JOHANNES
Jajaja
Surely we can't lose the silver now
>>65999643
He can miss two times on the last shooting and still win
IS IT HAPPENING? IS HE CHOKING?
Choke level: Max
OLE EINAR
Fucking miraculous
Fourcade could have missed another one, and still won.

FOR en mann
Poor Bö ;_;
Well, Shipulin still had a good race, but yeah.
Ole Einar though. Wow.
3 guys in the top 10
nice, I guess
So Fourcade is basically five time World Cup champion in a row, isn't he.
This is not even VWL, this is MSCWL tier of domination. And he's probably gonna do it next year, too.

Can't blockade the Fourcade
A few bings left till the girls run. Unlike men, hard to predict who's going to win this one. But I definitely wouldn't mind braid-chan or Kaisa.
Dahlmeier's probably a favorite, though.
>>66001468
Yeah, I think Dahlmeier's gonna take this one, but I'm rooting for Tiril of course. Olsbu can do good as well
ffs Tiril. She deserves to be punished

Yurlova and Akimova are going surprisingly all right.
It's clearly Dahlmeier vs Dorin Habert now though. Depends on how Dorin Habert handles standing shooting, since I'd say their speed is comparable.
Welp, Dahlmeier's gonna win now. Everyone else missed a lot, she's not likely to fuck up last shooting that much.
dahlmeierwinslol
Nah, Dahlmeier will surely miss 3
In France we have Lois Habert, Marie Dorin's husband commentatating the race.
It's always comedy gold when she misses
>germany gets a new great female biathlete
>she's ugly
>>66002399
We have Nowakowska commenting today's race because she didn't qualify yesterday and it's been such a cringefest I've been watching the last 15 minutes without sound.
TIRIL WHAT THE FUCK
Also good job Italy

>best norwegian placement is 16th
What has happened to our based-Kaisa? Can't win shit nowdays
>>66002781
It's still higher than 21st. I mean we didn't have any chance at medals to begin with, but at some point were close to the top ten. At least Ukraine did very well.
The city of Norway tho, indeed...
>>66002979
She's still as cute (very cute), still quite fast, but unfortunately can't hit a barrel at point-blank lately.
>>66002979
When will based Mari win, finnbro?
>>66003051
>Still very cute
Thank god that. I don't know if they have changed practise methods or something because couple years ago Kaisa had professional skeet shooter or something as a shooting coach
>>66003132
She won't :(
Too slow skier and too bad shooter. And it seems she can do only either one good: either shoot pretty good or ski pretty fast IMO
